What is a Comprehensive Plan?
A comprehensive plan, sometimes called a Master Plan, expresses a community's values and preferences. It is the foundation for development decisions, laws, regulations, and policies. It reflects a community's desired future. To ensure that a comprehensive plan articulates these values, is it essential to gather public input.

You may edit this frequently asked question and add a response that is specific to your Comprehensive Plan.
Comprehensive Plans typically address a wide range of issues that are important to residents and business leaders. Bethlehem’s current Comprehensive Plan provides an overall vision for our hamlets and our town as a whole, with key priorities and strategies for achieving that vision. It provides direction to the Town for investing in transportation improvements and public facilities, revising or creating new zoning regulations, protecting ecologically-sensitive areas, becoming more environmentally sustainable, and recommending issues for further study. Concept plans and other visuals within the Comprehensive Plan help demonstrate ideas and hoped-for outcomes.
Updating Comprehensive Plans allows communities to refresh the overall vision and update priorities and strategies in light of changing conditions, new challenges, and experience implementing the previous plan.
The previous Comprehensive Plan provides a vision up to only a few years from now. As our community continues to grow, we want to establish our vision for the town over the next 15 to 20 years.
The Update is anticipated to focus more deeply into several issue areas, including transportation and traffic, open space conservation, the character of residential neighborhoods, economic development, and environmental sustainability.
The Update process is expected to take 12-18 months to complete. Throughout the course of the project, the Town will engage the stakeholders and members of the general public through a series of engagement activities. To stay informed and learn about ways to participate:
